Question

Formal meeting at which people are asked questions by a panel?

Answer 1

It’s important to consider why employers conduct panel interviews. When all the decision makers are in the same room and share the same experience with you, they can make more unified and informed choices.

“[A panel interview] allows various representatives of the business to reach a consensus before making a hiring decision,” says Pamela Skillings, career coach and co-founder of New York–based Big Interview, an online job interview–training platform. Panel interviews also save companies time, she adds.
